If you're using reusable under eye patches, one of the most common questions is how often they should be used.

The answer depends on your skincare routine and personal preferences, but many people choose to use reusable under eye patches several times per week or whenever they want to add an extra hydration-focused step to their routine.

Here's what to know.

What Do Under Eye Patches Do?

Reusable under eye patches are designed to sit comfortably beneath the eyes and help keep skincare products in closer contact with the skin. If you're new to reusable eye patches, read our guide How To Use Under Eye Patches For Best Results.
